I am not surprised, In fact that is what I said before. To be _well_ prepared against computers you need a lot of time that will be wasted since they play humans the rest of the year. >smirin will receive money based on his success rate, and he has the gulko match >to look at. he should be able to do better than gulko... But he will be not prepared optimally either. If anybody wants a GM to be specially prepared against the silicon monsters, more than 2500 U$ should be spent. The matches are very interesting anyway, and to me, that is what matters most. Regards, Miguel > >cheers > martin
